The Phils had a four game series this past weekend with the Pods so I just waited till it wasover.
In game one Cole Hamels was looming to tie for the league lead with 12 wins.
He went 8 innings in the hottest day of the summer so far and struck out ten and only allowed 3 hits.
Hamels was just great again, well at least after that start following the all-star game.
The Phils only had 6 hits but it didn't matter.
It was 80's night so we got to see the Phils 1984 home red and white Pinstripes with the fat P.
Padres wore their '84 jerseys including the "RAK" on the arms. Lots of fun.
Was supposed to go to the game but the tickets were sold-out so we went to Sunday's game instead.
Win 3-1
Streak 3 wins
Record 62-36
Game 99
Kendrick pitched decent and only gave up 3 in 6 innings and left with the score tied at 3
Stutes gave a lead run up but in the seventh Howard led off with a pinch hit home run to tie it up.
Martinez and Utley also homered in the inning off Qualls who hardly ever gives up homers.
They scored five in the inning and held on for a win.
Martinez had 3 RBI's and Utley had 4.
Win 8-6
Streak 4 wins
Record 63-36
Game 100
Went to the game with standing room only tix.
Was another super hot day but for about two innings a strong wind blew straight in and they were ready to put the tarp on too.
Halladay was going for his 12th win today and it looked like he was going to get it when they got him a 5-1 lead.
Roy had 91 pitches after five but only needed 25 more through the next three.
This game had a bad feel to it, really thought they weren't going to holdon.
Howard had two nice hits in his first two ab's by dropping the ball into left field but looked pretty bad in the next two ab's.
Bastardo had a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save.
we had fun at the game. It was me, my brother, Karen, Paul, Dennis and his daughter Brandi.
Den and Brandi had seats down in the lower section behind home so we didn't see them during the game.
If my memory is right this marks the ninth series win straight and 42 games since they lost two in a row.
At game 100 their record stands at 64-36, second best at 100 behind the 1976, 68-32.
Win 5-3
Streak 5 wins
Last ten 8-2
Record 64-36
Game 101
I don't know what was going on with cliff Lee today.
He got pulled after four, gave up five runs and fell asleep with a runner on third.
In the four runs second he had runners on the corners. Lee had a pickoff over to first but just lobbed it over. Denorfia on third took off and stole home as it turned out this was the margin of victory.
Lee was 6-0 in his last 7 home starts and a 0.95 era, but not today.
Phils got it to 5-4 but that was it.
Loss 5-4
Streak 1 loss
Record 64-37
